Here are mine, Hyper 24/30mm , RD270 hub, carbon spokes, 40mm front and 45mm rear , with rim tape , total weight 1191gr .The finish is marble glossy .
Nice rim finish. Is there any weight penalty comparing to paintless glossy?

With this 8275 hub are the spokes then as wide as on the Farsports S series (+5mm)?
Do you maybe have technical sheet of the hub? Which bearings are being used?
Thank's . Yes , the weight penalty is +10/15gr per wheel .It's very marginal .

Thanks! My Hypers (35mm, RD270) have been build and are awaiting shipping. I ordered about 4 weeks ago.
Weight came out at astonishing 1120g for the set.

Contact with Emma was flawless and 90% of the time she answered in about 1h. I'll be swapping out the ratchets and springs as soon as they arrive, so hopefully no issues with the bearings :)

New set of wheels arrived yesterday. Had just enough time to unbox and weigh them before heading on a work trip.

58 Hyper rim
RD270 hubs
5mm carbon spokes
No holes in rim bed

I'll have a closer look next week, but about what you'd expect.

Very nice and light climbing wheels . Have your wheels already left China according to your tracking?

Hello ,
Indeed, the delivery seems to be very complicated. My wheels left Wheelsfar on December 2nd. Today is December 11th and apparently they have not yet left China.
If you want, I will keep you informed as soon as they are on the plane. Can you do the same as soon as yours are also there?
Thank's
